Braves stick it to Pirates in Game 1
ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta's
gamble with John Smoltz
wasn't so risky after all.
Smoltz, a right-hander who
struggled through September,
added to Pittsburgh's October
woes Tuesday night, pitching
the Bravos to a 5-1 victory over
the Pirates in the first game of
the National League playoffs.
Smoltz held the heavy-hitting
Pirate lineup scoreless until
Jose Lind led off the eighth
with a homo run to left field.
That ended Pittsburgh's post
season scoreless streak at 2ft in
nings. one shy of the major
league record
Now the Pirutos must come
from a game down if they are to
avoid (warming the first team
since the Philadelphia Phillies
of the late lft7l)s to win three
consecutive NL Last titles with
out advancing to the World Se
ries.
Braves manager Bobby Cox
gambled perhaps the whole se
ries by sturting Smoltz against
the predominantly left-handed
hitting Pirates, and was reward
ed Smoltz. gave up just four
hits before Mike Stanton took
over in the ninth and gave up a
two-out double to Jeff King be
fore striking out Orlando Mer
ced
“I thought the game plan I
had coming in, It ended up
working." Smoltz said. "I kept
the guys ofl base ahead of
(Andy) Van Slyko and Bonds,
and didn't allow them tw gel a
big inning going I got out of
the gate good, but I stiffened up
a little bit late and was ablo to
got a five-run cushion."
Smoltz, who shut out the Pi
rates 4-0 on six hits in Game 7
last fall, didn't allow a hit until
Lind's two-out infield single in
the fifth.
The NL strikeouts leader was
even more overpowering than
he was in beating Pittsburgh
twice last October. He struck
out six and allowed only one
runner as fur as third base until
Lind's second career playoff
homer.
And Smoltz didn't shut
down just Barry Bonds, a lead
Ing contender for the NL Most
Valuable Player who's been
anything but Mr. October.
Bonds was 0 for 3 but had plen
ty of company from the rest of
the Pirates, who have scored all
of two runs In their last four
playoff games.
The Braves had no trouble
solving Doug Drabek, whose
1.16 post-season ERA entering
the game was the best of any
current pitcher with 30 or more
innings. Sid Bream, the former
Pirate who cried when he left
the learn two years ago, scored
the Braves' first run and drove
in the second and Jeff Blausor
hit a solo homer.
Bream singled with one out
in the second for tho game's
first hit and Damon Berryhill
walked on a 3-2 pitch one bat
ter lutor. Mark Lemke, Atlanta’s
unlikely offensive star of the
'91 World Series but u .226 hit
ter this season, hit a hard
grounder up the middle that
second baseman Lind knocked
down just to the right of the
bag.
